However, when the wedding started without the bride, his wish of a bigger, better story came true all too fast. What happened next went futher than his wildest imaginings.

Where was Isla?

Summary: By time Harry meets him in book 1, Snape is a bitter, cold man. But what if his life had taken a different turn earlier? What if, before he had a chance to lose his best friend, he found out other people - girls even - could like him?

A bit of Snape!Fluff, although not as fluffy as some. There is some allusion to past sexual activit/innuendo, but nothing happens other than a kiss.

Summary: It was his dream to join the Auror Department - he loved the chase, the challenge, the chaos. Lord Voldemort has returned, and Aiden is sceptic about joining the cause after years of just practice drills and sitting behind a desk. When his familly is targeted, he turns to the only person he can trust: Nymphadora Tonks. She offers an invitation in a secret society, and Aiden realises his looming fears.

Summary: He was standing on the London Bridge, lost and forgotten. In retrospect, she probably should have left him, but she extended a helping hand. They met once a year, just once a year.

Summary: Seamus Finnigan only asked Lavender Brown to the Yule Ball because he was pretty sure Angelina Johnson would say no. They'd have a drink, a dance, and a laugh - that's all. Dean might be after a snog from a girl, but Seamus wasn't bothered.

But then Lavender appeared in the common room, in a swirl of a dress, and he was lost.

Certain rules exist between friends and family, one of which is never dating someone’s ex-boyfriend. However, unfortunately for Dominique Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy has seen fit to test her resolve to not cross that line. Could she bring herself to break that taboo?

Lily Potter was nice, but she just couldn’t hold a candle to her vixen of a cousin, Dominique. Scorpius knew who he wanted, but did he have what it took to go and get her?

This story is written as a parallel to my fic, Dust in the Wind. All events from that story are written in the opposing point of view, plus more of the back story and after story are explored.

She was at the top of the class, tied with him, and he couldn’t stand being second best at anything. Then, one Valentine’s Day, everything mysteriously changed.

She's got eyes of the bluest skiesAs if they thought of rain.I hate to look into those eyesAnd see an ounce of pain.Her hair reminds me of a warm safe placeWhere as a child I'd hideAnd pray for the thunder and the rainTo quietly pass me by.

Dominique Weasley took a summer job at Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes with the hope to stake her first claim of independence. All she really wanted was to be able to pay for her Yule Ball gown on her own, but one fateful day, someone strolled into the shop and turned her world upside down.

Scorpius Malfoy was sweet, confident, and completely gorgeous, but Dominique knew that he was off-limits as her cousin’s ex-boyfriend. The more she tried to push him away, though, the more she questioned her resolve to do the right thing.
